Walking on the Dark Side of Paradise

Nancy Hanks married Thomas Lincoln in 1806, and three years later they had a baby boy that they named Abraham Lincoln. In 1913 Robert Larkin Hanks, was born to a descendant of Nancy Hanks’ family, and when Robert Hanks began acting, he used the stage name of Robert Lowery, the male star of this noir adventure.

The Great Depression dominated the decade of the 1930’s, and movie producers made many uplifting, ‘prosperity is just around the corner’ movies. From 1941-1945 the world was consumed with World War Two. Men were fighting in uniform, and women were working in factories. Hollywood was consumed with producing movies about the war, and home life during the war years.

Now, at the end of 1945, World War Two is over, and movie makers can explore stories that were impossible to do before. They could explore the dark side of life, and Film Noir was born. Our adventure opens on a dark and lonely night. A man walks towards the dark entrance of Club Paradise and knocks on the door. The club is closed for the night, and there is no one inside.

Then, from an apartment above the Club Paradise, a woman opens her door and motions for the man to come up. The man climbs the stairs and goes into the second apartment, closing the door behind him. Suddenly, two gunshots ring out in the quiet night, and the screen goes dark.

As the screen once again lights up, we are moving back in time a few weeks, and joining the Rogers family at dinnertime. Our female leading actor, Doris Merrick, is the last to come to the dinner table, and our noir murder adventure is about to begin. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.
